Over the next few weeks subscribers of our social media sites should begin seeing posts from four county departments: tax office, parks and recreation, senior services and health department. Emergency services is part of Lee Linked, but that department will continue its current successful usage of social media on its own sites. As the program grows and the citizens give this initiative a "thumbs up", we may include other interested county departments. Please let us know of any suggestions you may have.
